Bringing this one back!  Do the diffraction pads affect the sound?  I would figure they do right? 
Soundbar AND home theater - but only one HDMI ARC
Thanks @audiotroy Question about that. Nothing is lost?  Still get 4k and atmos?Also, it looks like the one I'm looking at has a button on it to switch between the two, I guess that's the only option correct?  To get up and click the button?  Not ...

Beatles best album and concert dvd?
  yeti42 yeah.. I've always kinda thought Beatles fanatics were really more nostalgic and like to think that because a band was a "first" that makes them better. I never fallen in love with most of their music and didn't / don't understand t...

Which speaker wire does this hook up to?

Best sounding concert dvds
@millercarbon... do you think the VHS sound better just because they're analog?  I mean most would say CD/digital sound "better".  You would think with our good mixing ability these days we could made a very high quality and dynamic dvd audio reco...

I mean it's debatable how much we can hear past a certain bitrate anyway, but the music I played through it sounded supurb. Yes 24-96 can sound awesome. 
Mcintosh MA-7900 home theater bypass with subs - not doable?
@woots yes it mentions regular passthru which I'm currently and successfully using for the front 2 channels only.  I cannot get the subs to work on Passthru which are connected to the MA-7900 Pre Outs. 
Lumin U1 mini vs Lumin T2
Thanks, I actually did that.  I didn't like having add the miniDSP into the chain adding to the complexity of the system as well as more expensive wires.  So I bought an Anthem STR with Anthem Room Correction (haven't ran it yet as I'm still tryin...
